I'm with ya there I didn't think they were that good until someone recommended one in a defense mission bc I was complaining about switching weapons for priming and then I created SUBWOOFER that thing is insane and at this point in time I use it more than my nautilus
Also also also! The Eximus abilities stolen from Null Audit *also* applies the Manifold bond status! Pair that with Contagious Bond to completely obliterate rooms with the Jade Light!
@@taylorgarrett793 I don't know it worked in the past since I only started using hounds very recently, but I think when they steal an Arctic Eximus bubble, it functions the same way as Frost's reworked bubble, meaning you can shoot through it from anywhere. It is still pretty visually disruptive, but it hasn't been blocking my shots as far as I can tell
Fact that parts don't really matter makes it better to just go for a random hound you get or, when you decide to just make one, to go for parts of which you like the looks
i've named mine after various antidepressants (after naming a kubrow "zoloft" from something in my line of sight). People have correctly noticed Adderall and Ritalin, but I'm surprised how many people noticed Methylphenidate and Bupropion XL.
I think momentous bond is a must for these hound builds. The elements it adds are used by manifold bond, so you can pretty reliably have your hound procing every status in the game.
One week ago, as every meta slave as, I was an Panzer supremist but thanks to you I've been converted into Harold cultist. It was the best decision in my entire warframe career
A tip for your hound, especially for shield based frames, id swap shield charger for guardian. Not only do they both have the same cooldown, guardian actually refreshes all shields which allows an instant refresh of your shield when it breaks, allowing for a second instant shield gate. However it does have a 30 second cooldown, same as shield charger. But with the boatload of status being thrown out as well as manifold bonds second ability, this cooldown becomes basically non existant, meaning you have a second way to proc shield gate, which is glorious on shield frames. Even if you run stuff like brief respite or shield based abilities, it gives another safety net as the ability doesn't trigger unless your shield breaks. Just a bit of advice from a player that loves a good hellhound. Otherwise keep up the good work.
Rhe hound has become my favorite companion. Priming? Does that. Kills? Gets those too. It can even nuke on occasion. Being able to copy jade eximus and watching enemies get a taste of a viral heat and magnetic jade beam is just a cherry on top
I remember when I got my first hound... so nostalgic (also, would love to see a vid about the sentinel/moa guns that aren't verglas or helstrum, I swear the other ones are good as well)
HONEY A NEW HAROLD SETUP HAS DROPPED, OH SOL SAVE US Putting the drama aside, the harold setup was what got me to consider these good bois, thank you for showing off your murder dog.
Ever since the first companion rework I have been hard pressed to ever take off my hound, he just provides so much to me. Fire rate, nuking, priming, eximus abilities, too much good stuff
My main is a Dante gunboat for the most part, using effectively this build with the freedom to slam more bonds in has resulted in a truly silly entity letting him just live off overguard. Seeing Harold in the background of your videos set me on a path and i do not regret it :d
Side note with hounds for anyone who doesn't know, if you mod electricity onto the hounds weapon and have coolant leak, your companion will proc archon stretch and give you free energy regen
Honestly, your video showcasing Harold got me interested in giving hounds a try. I was very happy with my Panzer, but I felt it lacked a bit in the damage department since I don't have all the new companion mods. And I was not disappointed. These babies absolutely slap, though since their AI is still on the meh side of things I did have to change up some stuff to make my hound more survivable. Thankfully, though, it's quite simple as all I had to do was replace coolant leak with reflex denial and I rarely have issues. They can still die easily to eximus, but since they are modded for radiation if there are any normal units around the eximus will tend to turn its attention to the irradiated enemies and ignore the hound that is currently mauling their face off. So thanks again Mr Warframe RUclips man and be sure to give Harold plenty of treats for being a god boi.
Your old Harold build inspired me to go get those precepts and WOW putting all that together plus that bond mod that spreads status when it kills enemies CLEARS ROOMS INSTANTLY. Every now and then while I'm playing, I'll just see an explosion of status effects pop up and then a split second later the enemies are deleted xD so much fun!!
I removed his heat from the melee entirely because of heat inherit, it just makes typical heat builds worse since he ends up being the starter of most procs
You know, it has me wondering about how well the setup would work with Diversified Denial. It's a favorite precept of mine, and the image of the little hound pups running around causing mayhem just puts a bit of a smile on my face.
Thanks for introducing to us the Harold Hellhound. It's become my favorite companion. Sure wish it would get some skins, though. Also, would love to be able to equip the Retriever mods on it.
Hounds bring a lot of good versatility to a lot of different builds, like to run doggo sometimes, like to use Null Audit with a very similar build, buut may rework some of the weapon builds on them! Thanks for the helpful video MC!
Thanks for this, I recently crafted a hound and this came just in time! Man would be dope if we could outfit them with a gun on top their chassis. I know we have moa's but damn I much prefer the hound.
not really sure about this but you could use contagious bond in tandem with the blast + electricity setup to cross-proc blast and electricity when harold kills stuff, and then for the priming setups you could use momentous bond instead for an extra status effect
I love using contagious bond on my hound, i will just be doing my own thing and turn around and see 20 enemies get covered in status and instantly die to hundreds of DoT procs
Hounds are underrated and now even more overpowered while using a equilibrium Nyx prime dispensary arcghun build. Hounds immortal and collects orbs while dealing loads of damage , thank you
I want an update where Sentinels can dock with our Hounds. I was still disappointed that when you create a Sister, they have a cool holographic head of the progenitor Frame. But when we get the Hound, that cosmetic disappears. So it'd be a cool idea if the Sentinel and Hound can combine.
I personally tend to run shield builds for that free fire rate from reinforced bond. I adore my nautilus prime for it being able to keep up with yareli, as well as all the buffs it can give while also doing damage with verglas or viral priming with the tazicor. Moa's have been genuinely interesting for that same ability to wield the fun robotic weapons, while also having interesting support abilities like bubble. The only problem is i run so many bond mods i run out of space for mediray and the like..
Alternatively instead of health and armor mods you can run shields and reinforced bond for a nice fire rate boost. This does need shield focused hound parts to work, and if you feel this makes the hound too squishy, you can replace coolant leak with something else, such as momentous bond for even more status effects and faster revives. Also since manifold bond does also spread physical status effects, going for a hound weapon with slash is probably better. Impact is competing with the in-built electricity for the animation stun, so unless you really need to perform finishers, Akaten is the way to go.
I prefer to use my pets as weapon supports with the synth mods and the crit and fire rate bonds, but this is a pretty interesting alternative if I ever wanna try something different
Mr. Mcgamerz sir, is there any chance you would do an updated orbiter fashion showcase/tutorial? Probably not really a hot topic, but I'd like to see it and maybe what parts and where to get them. That crystal cave and hiarders den are godly. Take care!
I basically 1-1 use the harold set up but I swapped out Duplex, Coolant, and Medi-ray for Vicious bond for armor strip, pack leader so i can keep my hound alive better, and synth deconstruct because I am an addict of Arcane Blessing and the synth set bonus Edit: as for the batoten, I have Spoiled Strike instead of Condition overload and Melee Elementalist instead of lasting sting
I think the overall companion update was good step in the right direction, but now a big problem is the main builds being a status spreader using contagious and duplex with DoT slash + toxic. While I don't hate that, other builds fill a very particular niche like eximus killing and just don't particularly stand out from status nuke. I am glad Harold is an option but he is still built around status spreading and I feel like they were shove into that role with barely any viable options.
Please make the caliban with sand cats build you talked about in one of your early-er video's. I want to try the build myself and i am really curious how it preforms and what effects the sand kitty's!!!!
Im realy love the houd setup u bine using id a lot over the year bud im wondering about your biggus ningus pet because im struggling withe them for a desend build i hope he wil get his one vid soon keep up the good work
I just wish they had a place huras and every other pet can nuke so much and with momentous bond each kill of eximus they get will give them a random status when they nuke room and it stacks so you can get 10 stacks of momentous on your pet
Sounds fun i have synergized and repo on my phyd3ux. Maybe he'll be as useful as konshu the killer Crescent vulp and foamy the status spreading medijay.
have a set-up similar to yours and i think you're missing on some very strong bounds, i have no space for mods and i swish i had, Contagious bond makes packs explode through the spread between them(also if just spreads a damaging ailment you inflicted... 🤤) , momentous bond can give you very commonly the missing elemental status(mostly on steel path because has more eximus to kill), or maybe Astral bond if you use your amp enough, void status is rare, another interesting mod, synth deconstruct, since the hound damages so much enemies with contagious bond and the precept, you get a lot of health orbs, btw, electric+viral is what is doing the damage really, other dot status deal 1dmg per proc
The only annoying part is getting a hound with the Hinta Stabilizer part, which you won't know if it has it until you kill the sister of parvos. BUT, much like anything that takes some time in warframe, annoying is all it is in. Yeah getting the mod for 25 plat is okay but there's better uses for 25 plat. So hunting we go!
I think it would be really fun if you revisit some pets and look at damage-focussed builds. (E.g. Medjay Predacyte has 350 base damage, 50/50 Slash and Viral. How cool!) Currently, I am farming all the "new" beast mods from the vendors and the damage I am already pushing is so good. In combination with bond mods, they get very juicy.
I made something similar to this but I used momentous bond because good lord the damage is illegal and instead of repo audit I use the one audit mod that lets it steal eximus auras
How to get harold I been playing for very long and I watch your RUclips about Harold and I still don’t know where to get Harald despite I know where the place is but I do not know how to get Harald so could you guide me on that or make a video please I’m a big fan of yours
I never thought hounds were anything special until I witnessed the sheer bloodlust of Harold. Now my main companion is a hound using a similar setup.
yep same. yhough i need to get a diffrent head.for the fashion, mine currently looks like an oversized pug
I'm with ya there I didn't think they were that good until someone recommended one in a defense mission bc I was complaining about switching weapons for priming and then I created SUBWOOFER that thing is insane and at this point in time I use it more than my nautilus

It used to block shots, but that got fixed
@ ah thats good then
Fact that parts don't really matter makes it better to just go for a random hound you get or, when you decide to just make one, to go for parts of which you like the looks
I think you need the all right parts to unlock the correct mods. So once you've got them true you can build a random one.
They do matter since each part of Hound has unique mods.
So if you want MC's build you nead Dorma head and Hinta stabilizer.
@@walkelftexasranger or just buy the mods, they cost about as much as a fart
@@walkelftexasrangeryou only need to get them once to unlock them and you're pretty likely to get hounds while you're farming Sisters anyway
Worth making sure your companion has at least 343 base shields so you can possibly run Reinforced Bond.
These intros got so unhinged , i love it lol
Who's a good boy ?
Me
Not Ballas
You
Me! Me!
Umbra
OK according to the intro, Goodboi Harold canonically goes for the squishy tender bits...
It lets him inflict the most pain to his playmates
Because of you, most my pets have cool names like Greg, Dave, Bob and Steve, so thank you Mr Birbman
i tend to name mine like "dermatitis" "diabetes" "phlegm" and so on
Bob is cool but you know what's even cooler? Bobbo Doggo
i've named mine after various antidepressants (after naming a kubrow "zoloft" from something in my line of sight). People have correctly noticed Adderall and Ritalin, but I'm surprised how many people noticed Methylphenidate and Bupropion XL.
I think momentous bond is a must for these hound builds. The elements it adds are used by manifold bond, so you can pretty reliably have your hound procing every status in the game.
And infinitely stacking it just wont show the old status effects duration
That's a staple on all of my pets lol
i love that Harold is a constant character in this. love to see the update build for Harold.
I just want to say,your harold is the reason why im obssesd with hounds now and never let mine rest for even one mission😂
I love the thought of all of us running around with Harald clones all over the warframe universe!
I got a dog food ad for this. Fitting
Loved my Harold ever since the first video, he has become my favorite companion
One week ago, as every meta slave as, I was an Panzer supremist but thanks to you I've been converted into Harold cultist. It was the best decision in my entire warframe career
Is it better than a panzer?
I still use panzer with nidus. They look good each other
@ yes cause hounds can use manifold bond

what a fortuitous day as I had claimed and started modding a Hound for myself just today!
As someone who uses hounds all the time, I use Reinforced Bond, it is active like 80% of the time, and it's a nice boost
Hmm, me thinks my permafrost lavos has a new best friend.
I love using contagious bond on my hound, i will just be doing my own thing and turn around and see 20 enemies get covered in status and instantly die to hundreds of DoT procs
I like also using a synth mod for the passive reload bonus as well, and the armor or health orb bonuses are really nice too
Yay now I can build my own Harold!
Looking for feedback... The hound damage is *only* a few thousand. Compared to Kubrow/sunika claws at like 20k! I feel like I'm missing out...
Hounds are underrated and now even more overpowered while using a equilibrium Nyx prime dispensary arcghun build. Hounds immortal and collects orbs while dealing loads of damage , thank you
